• • Summary: Based on the "ultimate- development" forecasted densities, the City could accommodate about 19,500 residential units, including the Correctional Facility. In addition, new commercial employment at "ultimate build -out" could total approximately 15,600 employees. Much of this development is projected to occur after 2030. Nevertheless, in comparing the City's staging plan with the potential build -out scenarios, it appears that many areas of the City could see significant development developed before 2030, particularly in Districts 1 and 2. In addition, extensive commercial /industrial development is anticipated, especially in Districts 3 and 5. Therefore the capacity of existing and proposed sewer facilities has been evaluated based on ultimate development. Using the new forecasts for housing development and employment, ultimate sanitary sewer flows were determined and the facility improvements necessary have been identified in the new 2008 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan and summarized in this Chapter. We conclude that with the additional facilities proposed, the growth that has been forecasted by the City can be accommodated by City's sanitary sewer system. Plan Implementation: 2008 Sanitary Sewer Plan Approval The City will evaluate and approve the full 2008 Sanitary Sewer Plan concurrently with the review of this Comprehensive Plan Update Chapter on Sanitary Sewer. Sanitary Sewer Financing The City will annually review and evaluate the sanitary sewer rate structure and connection charges, to assure adequate funding of the sanitary trunk system. Development Control The City will review development proposals in light of the future Sanitary Sewer System layout presented in the 2008 Sanitary Sewer Plan, and incorporate needed trunk sewers into developers' plans where appropriate. Individual Sewage Treatment Systems The City will investigate the costs and benefits of requiring "point of sale" inspections for Individual Sewage Treatment Systems (ISTS) in addition to the periodic inspections currently required. Future Capacity Agreement The City will initiate negotiations with White Bear Township to formalize the agreement to reserve capacity in the Township's Centerville Road line for additional effluent generated as development occurs in Sewer District 4. Infiltration and Inflow Control The City will continue to monitor and correct Infiltration and Inflow (I &I) throughout the sanitary sewer system. Capital Planning The City will review the Capital Improvement Plan annually, with particular attention to projects upcoming during the next two year period. 7 -23
